Soundproofing barrier for workshop

When one is looking to protect persons (from noise) by the means of a structure envelopping a noise source (machine), designed for protecting the environment from this noise source (machine), ITS offers a wide range of soundproofing barriers for worpshops for many applications of soundprrofing / acoustic insulation related to the protection of workers against noise.

ITS offers powerful solutions at a reasonable cost in response to all the needs in the matter of soundproofing (preventive or curative) by the means of ergonomic equipment (standard or tailor made) for which the quality of design and of execution meets the highest level of requirement in this area for an efficient fight against noise in the context of compliance with legislation on noise at work or of improvement of working conditions.

The soundproofing barriers for worpshops offered by ITS allow the treatment at source of noisy machines and equipment.

The noise level ouside of such soundproofing devices is generally well below the lower values of exposure of workers to noise trigging action: a sound pressure level below 75 dBA can be obtained in numerous ordinary cases, offering in any cases to workers (including: operators of very noisy machinery) the protection against auditory trauma necessary for the performance of their tasks.

The soundproofing barriers for worpshops proposed by ITS can allways be disinstalled for a reinstallation in a different place.

They are usually made of coated metallic soundproofing panels with an insulation made of mineral fiber (walls, roof and if needed: floor) and equipped with painted metallic acoustic doors (rotating or sliding) and of acoustic windows with safety glass. Some of those construction elements may have a sound reduction index Rw that can reach 52 dB as a standard (a higher performance can be obtained by the means of special constructions).

Regarding products and construction systems proposed by ITS their performance is measured in laboratory according to current standards:

their sound reduction index according to the standards NF EN ISO 140-3 Acoustics - Measurement of sound insulation in buildings and of building elements - Part 3: laboratory measurement of airborne sound insulation of building elements and EN NF 717-1 Rating of sound insulation in buildings and of building elements Part 1: airborne sound insulation

their sound absorption coefficient according to the standards NF EN ISO 354 Acoustics - Measurement of sound absorption in a reverberation room and NF EN ISO 11654 Sound absorbers for use in buildings - Rating of sound absorption

The soundproofing barriers for worpshops proposed by ITS can be delivered as a kit ready to assemble with assembly instructions or be installed turnkey.

A guarantee of acoustic performance on site is issued for each installation of soundproofing barriers for worpshops.The verification can be conducted according to the standard NF EN ISO 11546-2: Acoustics - Determination of sound insulation performances of enclosures - Part 2 : measurements in situ (for acceptance and verification purposes).

The soundproofing barriers for worpshops offered by ITS are robust constructions with quality finishes ensuring a high durability and sometimes also contributing to the limitation of other nuisances than noise: dust, fogs, fumes, heat, laser radiation ...

Related features can be integrated (disassembly / mobility of the walls or of subsets, visibility, ventilation, lighting, securities, fire protection...)

Soundproofing barrier for machine, acoustic barrier for machine, soundproofing barrier for workshop, acoustic barrier for workshop: all equipment that one can source thanks to Isolation Technologie Services (ITS).

Such equipment is sometimes "in full height" i.e. built between floor and roof of production workshops where the geometry of the upper part of the machines and the roof requires it or make it financially attractive. One should then make sure that the roof of the building hosting the partitioning has the appropriate acoustic performance in terms of airborne sound insulation to prevent unwanted sound propagation.

In practice, this case is encountered when it comes to reducing the noise very tall machines, whose peak is sufficiently close to the roof (or in the case of premises with low height), or even when a separation into two areas is envisaged for a workshop (sometimes: between aisles) to prevent noise pollution from one area of activity to the surrounding workstations where relative calm is sought (in the latter case, use of absorbent lining on 2 sides of the barrier then make possible to limit the phenomenon of reverberation on both side).

Often insulation systems used for such constructions may involve subsets made of a single piece or of 2 pieces (i.e. if the height to consider is less than 12 m in terms of construction systems marketed by ITS).

Briefly

The soundproofing equipments offered by ITS focus on optimizing performance, which is guaranteed by contract. They come from a (multidisciplinary) rigorous and imaginative development, using proven design methods and advanced sizing tools. Based on a reliable technology, they consist of materials carefully selected for their functional and environmental qualities, are manufactured using industrialized and competitive processes, and where applicable, are installed by a qualified manpower wherever a preservation or an improvement of the situation in terms of acoustics is required.

The soundproofing equipments offered by ITS, built to meet the most demanding quality requirerments and to last, are made for you.

ITS is a consulting and trade representation office specialized in acoustics based near Lyon (France, Rhône Alpes area) whose range is national and can extend to neighboring countries.

Its activity is related to the design, supply and if necessary the installation of soundproofing equipment in the context of prevention or reduction actions of noise nuisances, by the means of a personalized approach of supporting of customers (which does not replace that of project managers, control offices or architects with the contracting authority).

The core business of ITS is including (in addition to on site acoustic measurements if required), as a mean but not as a finality: consulting and engineering activities as acoustical consultant office oriented toward construction technologies (selection of insulation materials and of insulating construction systems, sizing of soundproofing equipment by the means of predictive acoustic software that has mostly been developed by ITS human resource, being based on Research & Development jobs).

ITS provides solutions of fight against noise carefully designed, diverse, optimized with respect to the challenges of each project, with a quality implementation, environment friendly, in accordance with the rules of the Art as performed by specialists in the dependency of which is the application.

Acoustic insulation materials (including: for industrial or tertiary buildings), industrial and environmental soundproofing equipment (including: devices for the reduction of machinery noise and for the reduction of heat, cold or electricity production facilities, road and railway traffic noise limitation devices, products for reducing the reverberation of premises, silencers for all applications ...) and equipment for acoustic testing rooms: all equipment (standard or custom) that one can source through ITS with a guaranty of acoustical performance.

ITS acts to make possible choice soundscapes everywhere: protection of workers against noise, preservation of sound environment, limitation of noise emissions in the energy sector, testing room acoustics, acoustic comfort in buildings. Auditory trauma due to noise exposure (most often: from machinery and from industrial noisy equipment namely at workplace), what is a frequent professional risk,are thus avoided namely by the means of industrial soundproofing equipment such as acoustic enclosures (i.e. soundproofed hoods = housings) of machines, fencings, noise barriers and silencers of all types in production workshops and in other workplaces or by the implementation of cabins protecting people like operators.

The problems associated with insufficiency of sound insulation in constructions of all types (inadequacy of sound attenuation of partitions, acoustic insulation fault, faults generating unwanted transmissions of airborne sound or of impact noise ...) are also treated as well as the propagation of equipment noise inside buildings. The acoustic discomfort associated with reverberation (lack of sound absorption, insufficient spatial sound decrease) of industrial or tertiary premises (among them open spaces offices, sports facilities like swimming pools, ice rinks ..., meeting rooms, polyvalent premises and restaurants), and also other nuisances related to architectural acoustics are also cured as well as the neighborhood trouble related to noise emissions generating a rise above the permissible limit in the environment of industrial sites or near infrastructures of transport by road or rail. As soon as they are built, too noisy equipment (i.e. likely to generate noise pollution) can be equipped with soundproofing materials that can incorporate in case of need related technical features (finishing work). ITS also operates with respect to the realization of premises for which a special acoustic performance is required (soundproofed test benches & test rigs, acoustic measurements rooms - like anechoic rooms, reverberant rooms, aeroacoustic wind tunnels - , listening rooms (for test jury), auditoriums, ... and all types of soundproofed premises).

Whether for constrction projects or refurbishments, products and services offered by ITS are destined for manufacturers (OEM), installers or end users having a project (sometimes subject to constraints legislation or regulations) in relation to sound insulation (in the common language: phonic) for which solutions which guarantee the effectiveness (because tried),compatible with the other issues, sustainable and economically viable are sought.
